The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.

I will never be sad when car brains like you learn the hard way that cars are nothing but weapons. This is exactly why cars should be completely illegal, full stop.

Ok, Let’s assume you are perfectly correct in every way, Now according to your hypothesis Cars have no purpose other than being a weapon, now since cars exist at least for the moment, it is probably for the best to make it illegal to dash across shooting ranges.

You see, here's the problem. It's not actually a shooting range. Streets weren't made for cars, but for people. Before cars you'd see humans, carriages, horses, etc. all coexisting within the same space.

Eh, I would say pedestrians in that case should be entitled to self-defence.

You think in a legally licensed clearly posted shooting rang someone darting through the range illegally should be allowed to retaliate?

Yes, because it would hopefully discourage car brains like yourself from wasting space in cities.
